2-ethylhexyl-4-hydroxybenzoate

In this long list of different compounds used in plasticization of polyamide, the great majority is used for either experimental or specific purposes. N-butylbenzenesulfonamide and 2-ethylhexyl-4-hydroxybenzoate are the two plasticizers of various polyamides in most commercial applications. Due to the nature of the polymers, plasticizers are most usually polar compounds. 

Perfumes, Flavors, Cosmetics, and Soap. Many naturally occurring esters in essential oils and some synthetic esters are important fragrance and flavor compounds (61,62). They are used in perfumes, flavors, cosmetics, soaps, detergents, and air fresheners. Benzyl, butyl, ethyl, methyl, and phenyl esters of benzoic acid are used as flavors, perfumes, and food preservatives. Glyceryl 4-aminobenzoate [136-44-7] and 2-ethyUiexyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate [21245-02-3] are used in cosmetic sunscreen preparations. Alkyl esters of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, called parabens, have been used under various names for fungus infections of the skin, and as preservatives in lotions and creams (101). Soap and cosmetic fragrances use large amounts of amyl and benzyl saHcylate. Benzyl saHcylate [118-58-1] is also used in deodorant sprays. 2-Ethylhexyl saHcylate [118-60-5] and 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate [5466-77-3] are used in sunscreen formulations (102). 

The parabens also show increased binding affinity with increased chain length. Thus, 2-ethylhexyl, heptyl, and benzyl 4-hydroxybenzoates showed greater affinity for the ER than those with shorter side chains (butyl, propyl, ethyl, and methyl 4-hydroxybenzoates).

Solid-liquid solvent-free PTC was applied, with noticeable improvement and simplification compared with classical procedures, in a green chemistry context, for synthesis of some aromatic esters useful as cosmetic ingredients - 3-methylbutyl 4-methoxycinnamate, 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate, 2-ethylhexyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate, and 2-ethylhexyl salicylate, all well-known ultraviolet B sunscreen filters, 4-isopropylben2yl salicylate, a UV absorber and cutaneous anti-lipoperoxidant, the parabens propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and butyl 4-hydroxyben-zoate (Eq. 7), and antimicrobial agents [16].
